This morning, January 31, 2018, from 5:51am until 7:04am, here in South Florida, we can see the rare event of the Super Blue Blood Moon.

The last time this happened was 150 years ago.

I couldn’t pass up the chance to capture this amazing event. I woke up early to head to my spot to take photos throughout the hour it was happening.

Super Blue Blood Moon breakdown:
super moon – When the moon is at its closest point to Earth
blue moon – Second full moon in a month
blood moon – The Earth’s shadow casts on the moon during a lunar eclipse causing a red tint

Here is an airplane flying right in front of the moon.

Starting to fade away.

Almost gone…

If you would like to order prints of any of the images, please contact me.

The laptop case fits the computer perfectly with all the accessories. The material is treated to be weather-resistant and it includes a rain cover.

The moon is quite a spectacular astronomical body that orbits the Earth. It is amazing how it has many phases and have special events for us to see. When I say special events, I mean those nights that we see it pass behind the Earth into its shadow (lunar eclipse), or when it gets closer to the Earth that it looks larger in size (supermoon).

On August 20, 2013, there was a third full in a four full moon season so that one is called a Blue Moon. As soon as I heard there was a rare event happening in the night sky, I make sure to get my camera, telephoto zoom lens and tripod ready for action.

On September 8, 2014, there was a supermoon that was also called a harvest moon. A harvest moon is a full moon that happens closest to autumnal equinox.

Another rare event was the Supermoon of 2015. It was not only a supermoon but it was a total lunar eclipse as well. A total lunar eclipse is also called a blood moon as it has a reddish tint. This Supermoon Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse happened on September 27, 2015.

The supermoon that I captured in 2016 was on November 13, 2016.

There was only one appearance of a supermoon in 2017. It was just this past weekend on the night of December 3rd, early December 4th.

I have loved art and photography my whole life. I always found it so interesting to see all the various kinds.

I took art class every year in school. When I got to Junior High, I got my first 35mm point and shoot camera and began taking photos, but always continued to draw. I received my BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) in drawing in which I developed my series of Chaotic Confinement, sometimes referred to as Headache Scribble.

I currently have my art and photography for sale on various websites, like Vango Art, ArtFinder, Saatchi Art and Etsy. My website has various categories of my photography.
The direct links to the sites with the work are at the bottom of the page.

Andrea Acevedo, better known as Butterflymush in the art world, is an artist in New York. I met her when she was living in Miami when we were young and stayed connected through social media.

She recently wanted to help those that were affected by Hurricane Irma and the earthquakes in Mexico. She made a series of work about Latin women who worked hard towards their dream or goal and left a mark. She collected all the art and turned it into a book.

When I heard that she was going to be selling the book and having the proceeds help all those in need, I couldn’t wait to purchase it.

One: I love supporting artists and purchasing their work to add to my collection;
Two: this book is going to help a good cause;
Three: her work is awesome and couldn’t wait to see it and read all about the Latinas in the book

South Florida has some beautiful beaches and Hollywood Beach is one of them. The water is that perfect blue color and the sand is soft.

The beach doesn’t have much seashells to collect so the beachcombers and mermaids won’t find their favorite treasures.

Hollywood Beach has a nice wide and long boardwalk that is perfect to go walking and shopping along the beach. It has a side for the bicyclists and skaters. They have several stores, restaurants and hotels along the way.

For safety, the beach has lifeguards and their stations are very cute and colorful.

Thank you for reading.

Tuesdays Together is a gathering of creatives that was started by the Rising Tide Society. There are several chapters all over the US. We meet once a month on, you guessed it, Tuesdays. Each month has a topic set by the founder and team of leaders of the Rising Tide Society.

The group photo on the left side of the card shown below is by Erica Melissa.

I am part of the Miami chapter. Our leader Kristy, from the husband & wife photography team Kristy & Vic Photography, is an amazing person and friend. I wanted to get her and her husband Vic a thank you card for all that they do for our group.

I didn’t want a store bought card but a more personal and one-of-a-kind card. So I asked mt mom who makes handmade cards. I gave her the ideas and photos I wanted in the card and she cut them out and put it together.

I included 3 of our group photos in the card. 2 of them are from the Tuesdays Together and 1 is from the Your Story Workshop that Kristy, Maureen, Monique, and Erica put together.

The Your Story Workshop group photo shown in the front flap of the card is by Erica Melissa.

We all love donuts and coffee so I just had to implement that in the card. Before they even opened the card, Vic just happened to ask “Is there a donut in it?” I was smiling in my head because there was. So when they opened it, he was excited as there was the donut.

I love how the card came out that I just had to take photos of it, not only for my mom for her portfolio but for me to have memories of it.
